A reading of articles and features from some local Bee papers including: Amherst, Cheektowaga, Clarence, Lancaster, Depew, and Ken-Ton that would air on Saturday July 20, 2024

Who doesn't love an eclipse? Apparently, wildlife has very mixed feelings about the whole affair. This month, the guys prepare for the upcoming 2024 total eclipse by looking into the research around how animals react to the moon photobombing the sun for a few minutes. The reactions are not universal, but they are varied. And trying to figure out what the animals are up to makes for a fascinating listen. This episode was recorded on March 20, 2024 at Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve in Cheektowaga, NY.Episode NotesBill mentioned that “wind is air moving between temperature differences.” When listening back to the episode during editing, he worried that maybe he was wrong on that. Looking it up, he did find some websites claiming that wind is due to differences in air pressure and that temperature has little to do with it, but it turns out that's not quite true either. According to the good people at NOAA (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the organization referred to in this episode), the answer is both. Their short answer to “what makes wind?” is that it's the movement of gases from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. BUT, they go on to say that the main cause of wind is actually temperature. More specifically, it's differences in temperature that lead to different air pressures.It all starts because as the sun warms up the air on the Earth, it does so unevenly. Because the sun hits different parts of the Earth at different angles, and because Earth has oceans, mountains, and other features, some places are warmer than others. Because of this, we get pockets of warm air and cold air.Since gases behave differently at different temperatures, that means you also get pockets with high pressure and pockets with low pressure. Generally speaking (and notice we said generally), in areas of high pressure, the gases in the air are colder and more crowded. In low pressure zones, the gases are warmer and a little more spread out. And this is why wind happens. Gases move from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. And the bigger the difference between the pressures, the faster the air will move from the high to the low pressure. That rush of air is the wind we experience.Bill stated that perigee when the moon is farthest from the Earth. WRONG! The point in the moon's orbit where it is farthest from the earth is called apogee, while it's closest approach is known as perigee.Steve mentioned he though an eclipse viewer was like a camera obscura, and he was correct! A camera obscura is a darkened room with a small hole or lens at one side through which an image is projected onto a wall or table opposite the hole. The camera obscura was used to study eclipses without the risk of damaging the eyes by looking directly into the Sun. From WikpediaLinks Ways to get involved recording weather and/or animal behaviors during the eclipse:The Eclipse Soundscapes Project is a NASA Citizen Science project that's studying how eclipses affect life on EarthSolar Eclipse Safari is another Citizen Science option that invites you to collect data on animals and their behaviors during the eclipse. This project looks at domestic and well as wild animals. https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/ - a great website for general info about eclipses What Do Birds Do During a Total Eclipse? - an article compiling eBird sightings and descriptions of bird behavior during the 2017 eclipse, including an animation of radar data that shows bird activity during totality Sponsors and Ways to Support UsGumleaf Boots, USA (free shipping for patrons)Thank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for many of our episodes!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is live from Imperial Pizza in South Buffalo for the first time in 2204 and is joined by Chris Trapasso from CBS Sports for a conversation centered around the Buffalo Bills, the NFL and the upcoming draft next month. The last time Patrick and Chris got together for a remote show taping was at a Cheektowaga pizzeria in October 2021 and within five minutes it ended abruptly after Patrick accidently spilled a beverage directly on the audio recorder. Incredibly mishap history repeated itself this time too, as Patrick's faulty laptop cable sent him back home to retrieve another one and postpone this live streamed episode by nearly a hour. All's well that end's well and the guys have a discussion about Imperial and their wings before getting into Chris becoming a regular fill-in host on One Bills Live, including him taking us behind scenes of what goes in with the show. From there they get into the Bills offseason to this point and Chris provides insight into what he's liked, and hasn't about the moves Buffalo has made as the draft gets near, surprising some by actually praising the release of Mitch Morse before free agency. From there they had to draft talk and Patrick r takes advantage of Chris's thorough knowledge of this year's draft prospects and asks him about several of them at a handful of positions the Bills are expected to address, especially wide receiver where we learn more about several prospects. That and plenty more football and other fun topics today. Make sure to follow Chris on Twitter @ChrisTrapasso. As always, a huge thanks to Imperial Pizza for their great hospitality and killer wings. It should also be noted that the second Imperial location at 1665 Main Street is fully open for business. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast  Substack: Patrick Moran's Substack Twitter:  @PatMoranTweets.
